How to Get Free Legal Advice 
_________________________________________________________________________________

Free legal advice can be incredibly wild on the internet. People from amateurs to experts all contribute, but many times it is very inaccurate do to the varying state laws that differ from one another. Also, many "know it all types" answer things that they have no idea what they are talking about. Sometimes the person that answers is an actual lawyer that will answer your legal questions on certain forums. I'm going to share with you great ways to find truthful and sound free legal advice on the internet! Since we know how expensive lawyers can be following these steps will help you save money on legal advice.

1. First, it begins with you. If you have a legal question, no matter where you ask, you must include the state that you are asking about. This will prompt more experts to answer your question. So if you have a question about child support, family, ticket, criminal, or civil law or legal question, start your question with the state that you live in. Never leave that out or many experts will just look over it because they know you are wasting your breath. State laws vary incredibly and in order to get free legal advice one must include their state.

2. The second step is to know how to avoid specifics. Never give your name or case numbers freely over the internet. Also know to avoid very open forums such as yahoo answers, as you don't know if it's an 8 year old kid just out to give you a hard time. Free legal advice can be very accurate on the internet, but you must be sure that you do not give out any specifics about yourself.

3. Many legal and law forums such as http://www.expertlaw.com/forums are an excellent place to start asking. Many people in these law specific forums are students of law, ex law enforcement, and former judges. If somebody gives you bad free legal advice it is usually dealt with by others calling it out. This forum is free and open to the public and the advice can help you save money on simple questions that you may have for a lawyer.

4. Find attorneys in your area and email them your legal question (along with asking what their charges are to represent you). Many times, they will be happy to answer 1 to 2 free legal questions and give advice so long as they think you may be willing to give them some business. (If they do help you and seem reasonable, do give them business if you need them!).

5. Being anonymous can also help asking about troubling free legal advice or questions. You can use alias email accounts & ask questions on open forums and to lawyers this way. Of course most legal questions are completely free to ask online and can really save money versus asking while paying an attorney. I would advise people remain courteous though when asking anything online whether it is an attorney or an open forum since the answerers are doing you a favor!
